review fatima

Again the writer succeds in making the past come alive. Much like the 'cathedral at the sea' he manages to describe the surroundings and politics of the time while combining the narrative to his characters. Although he admits to have dramatized the main character with perhaps too many of the historic events, the story keeps it pace and never becomes predictable or surreal. In all an excellent choice for those who like to submerge in the past and enjoy some strong story telling.
